  • Lipid Yellowgray diagram

    Recognising Lipid Yellowgray

    Lipid Yellowgray supports Microscope Technology and Cellular Understanding by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.

    What To Explain

    The answer should name the cell structure and link it to its function, such as control, respiration, photosynthesis or protein synthesis.

    Exam Answer Move

    The mapped objective is: Build an explanation of the way changes in microscope technology, covering electron microscopy, have enabled us to see cell structures and organelles with more clarity and detail than in the past and increased our understanding of the role of sub-cellular structures. Diagram marks usually come from linking a named structure to what it does.

  • Membrane 2d Bluered diagram

    Recognising Membrane 2d Bluered

    Membrane 2d Bluered supports Microscope Technology and Cellular Understanding by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.

    What To Explain

    The membrane is selectively permeable, so substances move across it by diffusion, osmosis or active transport depending on the particle and gradient.

A strong answer names the transport process and links it to membrane structure.

  • Membrane 2d Greenyellow diagram

    Recognising Membrane 2d Greenyellow

    Membrane 2d Greenyellow supports Microscope Technology and Cellular Understanding by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.
